I recently sprained my left wrist on the ulnar side, and have been trying everything to accelerate recovery (curcumin, fish oil, ice/heat, etc). Charles Poliquin mentioned Gotu Kola in an article on tendon health awhile back (http://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/840/Five_Ways_to_Boost_Tendon_Strength_and_Health.aspx), and I was thinking of adding it to my arsenal.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I've been pushing curcumin, FA3, and fish oil for the past few weeks and have seen significant improvements. Unfortunately, it seems like this will probably take at least 4-5 more weeks to completely heal. If recovery seems to start slowing down, I may end up purchasing some Gotu Kola from Poliquin's store.

well I've had a chronic issue with my knee/tibial tuberosity for almost a year now, so I'm actually going to be buying it to see how it works. Also getting some acupuncture next week.

please keep me posted on the PB I would be interested in how that goes for you. Ive used it for loose skin but never for tendon/other recovery or strength, definitely want to know if that would be true.
Although I have used it for about 2 months and have noticed less inflammation in the knees in particular.

OK I'll let you know. My MRI shows inflammation at the tib tuberosity and just above on the patellar tendon. There is also ossification at the tibial tuberosity which makes it look slightly enlarged, more-so than my right tibial tuberosity.
